What is Strikethrough Text Generator?
This tool turns your normal text into text with a line through it, like t̶h̶i̶s̶. It works by adding a small Unicode mark after each letter. Because the result is real text and not an image, you can copy it and paste it almost anywhere: Instagram bios, tweets, Discord messages, emails, and more.
Why use it?
- Show a price change, like a crossed-out old price next to a new one
- Cross out a finished to-do item in a list or note
- Add a joke or sarcastic aside to a bio or caption
- Make one line in a group chat message stand out
How does it work?
The tool adds a combining strikethrough mark (Unicode character U+0336) after every letter, number, and symbol you type. It updates as you type, so you always see the finished result before you copy it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on Instagram and TikTok bios?+
Yes. The strikethrough effect is made from real Unicode characters, so it pastes correctly into Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, and most other apps that accept plain text.
Why doesn't it look right in some apps?+
A few older apps and some email clients don't fully support combining Unicode marks, so the line can look thin, doubled, or slightly off. That's a font limitation in that app, not a problem with the text itself.
Is this the same as Markdown strikethrough (~~text~~)?+
No. Markdown strikethrough only works inside apps that support Markdown formatting, such as Discord or Slack. This tool creates strikethrough text that works anywhere, even where Markdown isn't supported.
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?+
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server or saved.
How do I strikethrough text in Word?+
Microsoft Word has its own built-in strikethrough button (in the Home tab, or the shortcut Ctrl+D then Alt+K in some versions) that applies real formatting. This tool is for places without that option, like a plain-text bio or chat field — you can still paste the result into Word if you'd rather not use the button.
How do I strikethrough text in WhatsApp?+
WhatsApp supports Markdown-style strikethrough: put a tilde on each side of your text, like ~text~. This generator is an alternative that works even in apps without that Markdown support, or if you want the effect in a field where Markdown isn't parsed.
Can I use this to strikethrough text on Snapchat?+
Yes. Snapchat doesn't have built-in strikethrough formatting, so generating the text here and pasting it into a caption or chat is the most reliable way to get the effect.
